Good Day,

I've been using an HA mirror (two nodes) with StarWind v6 free for a while.

Recently, one of the nodes died, and the other node did what it was supposed to do and carried on quite well.

Problem is, now I want to re-establish the mirror (in case the current node dies) such that I have the old setup again, i.e. two nodes in HA mode, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it.




Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Just to confirm: you need to add the partner that is failed to the one that is healthy and running right now, correct?

Thank you for the clarification.
You need to install StarWind on the new node, and then create the partners through the replication manager (right click on the existing device and choose the corresponding option).
